This may only be infringed if: (a) There is reasonable cause to believe that the violation of this privacy will preserve national security or the safety and/or security of any other citizen or citizens, of which said cause of violation shall require a warrant, or when (b) the person of whom's privacy in question is in a combat situation, or when (c) the person of whom's privacy is in question is an inmate in a prison, penitentiary, or psychological rehabilitation facility, or when (d) the person of whom's privacy in question is active in matters that require certain information to remain secretive for purposes of national security. 2)(A)A special court system shall be set up specifically for dealing with the administration of warrants in the case of (1)(A)(a), and (B) the judges in this system will be specially trained in the ethics and law of privacy and will deal only with the aforementioned duty, and (C) except in circumstances involving national security, warrants requiring the release of privacy shall be publicly published, of which this withholding of publication shall only last until either (a) the person who's privacy in question is convicted of a crime and sentenced to punishment or (b) the expiration date on the warrant for the disclosure of information has expired, and (D) warrants must specify a definite range of time that is tied to something significant to the purpose of the habeas data warrant, and (E) must specify specific data to be disclosed, and (F) after the conviction of a person of a crime using habeas data on grounds of national security, all the details of the crime, case, and trial must be published to the public that this power of secret warrants may not be abused." 2)(A)It is the intention of this legislature that if any parts of this law are declared unconstitutional, all other parts shall remain in full force and effect.<< |
